External Events and Resources

Our team at Career, Professional, and Community Development is plugged into a lot of different networks, both locally and nationally. We often come across different events, opportunities and resources outside of the UNH system that we want to share with the community of graduate students and postdocs at the UNH Graduate School. This webpage serves as a hub for sharing those resources and we encourage you to share any resources you think would be helpful to include on this webpage at grad.assist@unh.edu.
